We have already suggested some ideas to furnish a small bathroom, but what if this environment is very small? If you don’t want to give up anything and, despite the small size, you want to make the bathroom a welcoming, functional and beautiful place, just choose the right accessories and take the necessary precautions. Let’s find out how to furnish a very small bathroom: here are some valuable tips.
What is meant by a very small bathroom?
Let’s start from the beginning: what are the measures of a very small bathroom? To be defined as such, the square footage of this room must remain below 4 square meters. Usually such small bathrooms are those found in one or two room apartments, or the second or third bathrooms in the house. Depending on the exact size and shape of the room, it is possible to insert a different number of elements. The important thing is to make the most of the spaces and to do this, just follow these tips.
#1 Basin
Avoid deep washbasins and, on the contrary, prefer accessories with reduced dimensions (for example 25 cm deep and 45 cm wide). Another solution is to equip the basins with space-saving furnishing, such as the towel holder, the soap holder and the object holder. Suitable for very small bathrooms, it is undoubtedly the countertop basin, which allows you to take advantage of the space below with the insertion of a piece of furniture. Finally, the choice of corner basins is equally intelligent.
#2 Sanitary ware
Same goes for wc and bidets: choose furnishing with reduced depth (for example 48 cm). Both those suspended and those on the ground (flush with the wall) will do. The bidet is not always necessary: there are in fact toilets with a hydrobrush, which make up for the lack of the element.
#3 Wallpaper and mirrors
Then there are some visual tricks with which you will be able to make the bathroom look bigger. First of all, the very large mirrors: they manage to give the room a sense of depth like no other material could, visually widen the surfaces and make the environment brighter. Another good idea is wallpaper with a depth effect.
#4 Lighting
Another very important aspect is that of exploiting natural light as much as possible: therefore go ahead for large windows and slightly covering curtains. However, if it is not possible to insert windows in the room, artificial lighting will play a very important role. If used correctly, it will not only make the environment seem larger, but will also serve as a piece of furniture. So expect a general light, an effect in the shower and one on the mirror directly on the basin.
#5 Thermo furniture, niches and containing columns
Even the details make the difference! The main objective, when you have a very small bathroom, is to exploit the most of all the spaces. Fortunately, there are several solutions: making niches, for example in the shower or on any wall, will allow you to gain precious and otherwise unused spaces. In the same way, you can optimize the spaces by choosing a thermo furniture that also performs the function of a shelf, in which to store small objects and towels. How not to mention the containing columns! Growing in height, they will exploit the heights, without occupying precious centimeters of the room.
#6 Colors and coatings
Choose light and bright colors, first of all beige, light gray and white. Choose minimalist coverings and materials in shades of stone or earth. For very small bathrooms, the advice is to cover the walls up to half the height. If fully coated, they could create an “oppressive” and counterproductive effect.
